The invention relates to a platform of the utilization of solar power which makes use of linear concentrators to beam the solar radiation for use in thermal, chemical or photovoltaic solar power converters, in which the azimuthal movement of the sun is followed by rotation about the main axis. The aim of the invention is to ensure an approximately uniform conversion rate of the solar radiation largely independently of the height of the sun while avoiding the use of a twin-axis follower system. The area available for utilizing the solar power is to be used as fully as possible as the aperture area to capture the radiation. According to the invention, a floating pipe (2, 2′, 112) forming a torus is fitted as a frame for a horizontally extending planar bearer (3-4) held, by substantially evenly distributed buoyant bodies (13, 36, 46, 64a, 64b, 80b) borne by a liquid, at a vertical distance from solar power converting devices (33, 53, 73, 73′, 93, 94b).

A system for focusing the sun\s rays onto one or more energy converters comprising: a platform floating on a layer of water (9) having a horizontally aligned roof covering said platform, comprising a set of transparent echelon lenses (16, 30u, 40b, 82, 83, 89c, 90a) and one or more energy converters
A system for focusing the sun\s rays onto one or more energy converters comprising: a platform floating on a layer of water (9) having a horizontally aligned roof covering said platform, comprising a set of transparent echelon lenses (16, 30u, 40b, 82, 83, 89c, 90a) and one or more energy converters (23, 53, 73, 73′, 94b) positioned in at least one line below said roof, each of said echelon lenses comprising prism shaped steps (84) having flanks (89, 91) adapted to face the sun and which run perpendicular to said lines of energy converters (53, 73, 73′, 94b); each of said echelon lenses having a geometry which refracts wedges of the sun\s rays (86) downwards within a limited range of angles (87h-87z) around a vertical line (153), said range of angles including zero degrees, and in addition, means (16c, 90, 121) are provided which concentrate the downward refracted sun\s rays onto said lines of energy converters. A system according to claim 1, wherein each of said energy converters (170, 180, 190) comprises a photovoltaic cell; and, which further comprises a rod-shaped optical element (125, 140, 181) which bends the sun\s rays towards the energy converter (170, 180, 190).
